He got played by Khomeini. Heres the glorious NYT endorsing Khomeini btw — take a Look at how they treated Trump compared to Khomeini lol: „Trusting khomenei“ „ More than any other Third World leader, he is portrayed in a way that is designed to instill fear. President Carter and [his foreign policy adviser] Zbigniew Brzezinski have until recently placed him close to religious fanaticism. The news media have vilified him in many ways, linking him to efforts to turn back the clock 1,300 years, to vicious anti-Semitism, and to a new political disorder, 'theocratic fascism,' that is about to be unleashed on the world.“ https://www.nytimes.com/1979/02/16/archives/trusting-khomeini.html Seems the people who argued that Khomeini was dangerous were right in the end duh… > > As to Banana, he could have > learned the lessons of history, > if he were at all capable of > learning anything. Not to mention the Germans — who criticised Trump for his sanctions on Iran lol The Germans don’t give a fuck about Israel, though they Are mainly reaponsible for the Situation Today. Jimmy Carter in Haaretz: "The West was consumed with guilt and remorse towards Israel because of the Holocaust, as it should be. But who pays for it? The penalty is paid by the Arabs, by the Palestinians. I once met a German ambassador who said Germany had two guilts. One was what it did to the Jews. And now the suffering of the Palestinians."
